Real life Tom and Jerry:Game of cat and mouse blacks out Albania’s capital

The chased the mouse through the power plant and into the high voltage lines, subsequently causing a power outage. No word on whether the mouse was caught or not, or if the “woman of the house” chased the bad cat out of the house for trying to catch the mouse.

I never did really understand that part of it. Why would you shoo the cat out of the house for trying to catch a mouse (and not shoo the mouse) when your reaction to seeing the mouse was to scream and jump up on the table? And Tom was half the size of a human. That is one damn big cat and I would think it would cause massive destruction in all of its other cat activities and not just while chasing Jerry. I did like the fact that they did not speak, although it was ruined when the little bird was added. I am still trying to decide if they hate each other or not, and whether Tom chases jerry simply for keeping up the traditional roles society has placed on them. Not to mention adding a dog into the mix. I can buy into the dog chasing the cat, but have a difficult time believing the dog would protect the mouse. Personally I would think the dog would proceed to chase the mouse after finishing with the cat.

Recent studies have shown that cats stop killing somewhere around 12 to 15 miceĀ  if placed in a room with mice. This could suggest that they only kill what they need. But if that is the case then if you provide enough equivalent food would they still kill the same number of mice? If so, would this not then suggest that they also kill for fun and not just necessity? So then you could surmise that Tom chases Jerry for the fun of it and not because he needs to eat. I know my cat chases her stuffed mice because they are filled with catnip. So perhaps there is a drug deal gone wrong that drives him.
